Top 5 Patrick Swayze scenes

You've probably heard by now that Patrick Swayze succumbed to pancreatic cancer at the age of 57. Swayze was an uncommonly talented actor, who left behind a diverse body of work. From the weepiest "chick flicks" to some of the most macho power fantasies ever committed to celluloid, he had something for everyone. Rather than mourn his death, we choose instead to celebrate his life, with our top 5 favorite Patrick Swayze scenes.

5. Road House

4. To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything - Julie Newmar

3. Saturday Night Live

2. Ghost

1. Dirty Dancing

Well, they won't let me embed this one. But I think you remember the scene.

I loved Patrick Swayze and even had a poster of some dirty dancing scenes in my college dorm. My favorites are Dirty Dancing, Ghost and I loved the Outsiders. The Chippendales skit was also SO funny.

He fought an incredible battle and was an inspiration with his attitude up until the end.

Thanks for those clips it is fun to watch him and remember.

There are some pretty memorable scenes in Point Break. Maybe I only think that because I was just in California, or maybe it's because I watch that movie on VHS at least once a month.

Point Break is a fantastic movie. Sadly, YouTube offered very little from it.
